were present The object Of the meeting
was to effect basis of union by which
these several churches, now having the
name of Methodist numbering some sixty
in all. could unite under the name of Con

AN AsToNIsHED HORSE.
A Countryman Finds Queer Hitch
ing Post in Macon.
7J.om the MncOn (GnO T'eLeO1ol

From the Macon (GG.) Telegraph
The other night, young man from the
country came in town with his horse and
buggy, and proceeded to do up the town in
the best way he knew how. On his way
home he happened to think, just as he reach.
ed the railroad crossing, near the city bridge,
that he wanted to take one more drink as
a night cap. A train was passing at the
time, and the long poles called gate were
down. He jumped out of his buggy, and,
Supposing the gate was a fence, hitched
his horse to it hard and fast, by a rope
around his neck and waddled off in the
direction of a barroom. In the meantime
the train having passed, the Waterman,
with his back to the gate, proceeded to haul
it by the windlass. The old horse felt the
gate taking up the slack in the halter, but
never dreamed that he was about to be
hung up. Slowly but surely the gate was
raised, and higher but surely the horse went
up. The additional weight of horse and
buggy was not felt by the old Waterman as
he turned the crank, and the rope around
the poor animals neck kept him from even
murmuring IA complaint.
The old Waterman finally finished his
winding and turned to go into a little box
when he saw a sight that paralyzed him.
From the position of the horse, with his
fore legs clasped around the high pole, the
old watchman's first thought was that the
horse had simply climbed up the pole. 1t
took him a minute or so to decide whether
he was drunk or dreaming and saw an i'm
possibility, or whether the pole had got
tangled up in the harness and carried the
horse up with it. While he was thus decid-
ing in his mind how it all came about, the
countryman had finished his nightcap and
arrived on the scene. The sight pre-
sented to him not only scbered
him, but froze his young blood. 1t was a
borrowed horse, and he knew that it was
dead loss. He ran to and fro as if crazed,
and yelled out for some one TO bring a lad
der. The Waterman by this time had re-
covered his senses, and rushing to the wind
lass soon let the poor animal down. The
countrvman thought it was a mean trick of
the Waterman, but the Waterman was too
intent on getting life back into the horse,
fearing damage suit against the railroad
to pay any attention TO the fellows threats
The horse was rubbed and doctored, and
after while was on its feet and going at a
jog trot toward Jones county

AS TWIN STATES.
Montana and Washington.

Washington Telegram: In its report
upon the Senate bill to provide for the
admission of Washington Territory as
state of the Union. the House com.
mitt.e on territories says the vote cast
at the last election in that portion Of
Idaho which the bill proposed TO add
To the new state, was 4,646, which at
the ratio of four TO represent the popu-
lstion of q, ,s36, adding this To the pop
ulation Of Washington. the new state
will come into the Union with 1877 ,095
people, or IS 900 more than the estab-
ljshed unit Of representation. The
committee Is Of the opinion that
Washington Territory bas all the ele-
ments of wealth, intelligence. and
local development in every particular
to enable her people to successfully es-
tablish and maintain the state govern
ment. The committee takes up the
claim of Montana for admission 10 the
Union, and after showing that the
population at the last election WAS
l6i 1872, says that it would seem that
Montana contains larger population
than the ratio OF representation In
Congress requires. Copious quota
tions are taken from Gov. Rauser's
recent message exhibiting the finan-
cial condition of the territory. its vast
natural resources and heavy exports Of
mineral and annual product. The
committee then recommends that the
original Senate bill. which provided
for the admission OF Washington terri
tory with q portion of Idaho sddeu,
shall be so amended ~ to include the
territory of Montana and that the con-
stitution of the proposed states OF
Washington and that Of Montana be
submitted To Congress instead Of TO the
President as provided in the Senate
bill. Another amendment proposed
TO the bill il the requirement that the
constitutions of the states shall include
a provision forbiddiDg polyeamous or
cohabitation within the territorial
jurisdiction. Chairman Hill, however,
excepts 10 this last amendment In n
minority report. in which he says he
dissents from the majority OF the COM
mittee In requiring any religious test
whatever in the formation OF constitu-
tions for any state of the Union, or In
i'm mposing any conditions whatever ex-
cept that the state constitutions shall
be Republican in form and conform to
the provisions Of the constitution OF

AN AFFRAY BETWEEN FRIENDs.-Dr. II.
7. Daniel, clerk in the Surgeon Generals
office, old Ford's Theatre, Tenth street,
Washington, WAS stabbed over The right eye
at two O'Clock yesterday afternoon by An
drew J. Laird. of tho Adjutant Generals Of
fee. Laird and companion named James
A. Lcng called at the Office and sent for DR..
Daniel, who hardly reached the men when
Laird. with an oath rushed at him and
said. 81 am going u kill you" and at the
same timo plunged the knife into Daniels
right eye, severing the supera erbito artery.
Laird and Long were arrested. The wound
ed man Was firm friend of the assailant.
and the only reason that he could assign for
the act was that hs had refused to renew
his indorsemens Of several of Laird's notes.
Last night Laird intimated that his act was
one that anyone would do, especially
father. He would not speak fully on the
matter, but it was inferred that he meant
that Daniel had done something that was
heirous. A lady friend of the Laird family
told the police yesterday what is claimed to
be the truth of the matter. which was that
about six weeks ago Daniel made base
proposition to Laird's 14.year old daughter
to go with him in 81 carriage to q certain
house. It was only yesterday that Mrs.
Laird told her husband, and be became al
most wild at the baseness of man who was
not only related by marriage, but friend
and boon companion.
